You can bet a chunk of them will come from the Ready Reserves and Inactive Ready Reserves.

Not the lionshare by anymeans, but enough to be an impact.

I'd disagree with that commander. I think we need those 55,000 troops here at home to be with their friends and family, along with all the other American troops around the world.

Damn!

This Afghanistan adventure is an exercise in futility.

I'm very disappointed that Obama is continuing this endeavor.

Tried to tell you (collective) when the left-wing anti-war gang was bitchin' about Obama's g-r-a-d-u-a-l shift to the center to appease the voters in the general election. No one was listening, to them or me.
